Can someone (Adam if he gets time) post some screenshots in the OP.
[Desire Android Development] mastersjef:
Nice work Adam and Thalamus, ir runs much faster as any other rom is there in the future a 2.37 version without the transfer lag? i use the 2.35 one but just curious. Tnx for the quick post of the new Rom.

Hey all,

Just upgraded from 2.01 to 2.03 and I noticed an issue.

When I do a search in the Market, the drop down suggestions all show as NullPointerException.

I did a full wipe of everything before updating to 2.03.

Any ideas?
[Desire Android Development] the.draconian:
So you just let the auto download run from the market? And then found the missing apps separately?

I just did a clean wipe and install like this, only used titanium for the data restore, hopefully this sorted it! I'll let you guys know

The fix someone posted a few days back for the blackscreens is working perfectly! 3rd day now without a single issue :) thanks a ton!!
[Desire Android Development] z4ppy:
I wish I had this.

This morning I sent my first text at 8.44am, 23 texts sent/received in the next hour. A little browsing of the market for like 5 minutes and my battery has gone from fully charged to 92%. Wi-fi is enabled but I've not browsed the web from my phone. Again display brightness is on dim.

This battery drainage is getting rather annoying, particularly when out and unable to charge.

I'm lucky to get a full entire day out of my battery. Regardless how I use it. I could have wi-fi/mobile data off completely and just text all day and I'd be lucky to finish the day with anything more than around 30-40%. Simply texting.

Honestly have no idea what is causing such drain. As mentioned a few pages back when I mentioned this, I don't have google maps installed or anything. When I flashed I did full wipe of everything etc.

Quite jealous of those who manage to get a good day and a half or more from their phone, while using it far more than myself. >_<
[Desire Android Development] jadephyre:
In all fairness I have to say that GPS was only on for a few minutes while testing Ulysse Speedometer and Navigon 3.5.4

I've managed to drain my battery to 49% as of writing this post here, that is about 14 Hours 45 Minutes on Battery.

Also, my phone is still pretty new, bought it in January, so the powerpack is pretty new as well and can hold the maximum capacity of 1400maH for probably the longest time possible.

At some point in the future I may not get these figures anymore myself, as batteries for smartphones typically do not age well ;)
[Desire Android Development] z4ppy:
I'd still happily take 49% after nearly 15 hours. I mean yesterday for instance I left my sisters place around 9:30am, disconnecting phone from charger. I was down to 30% charge at around 6pm that night once I finally got back to my mates place. Had to charge it there for a couple hours, leaving there for home at around 10pm with a charge of around 46%

In that time all I did was text, couple of calls and some use of facebook. Just general things.

After an 1 hour and 23 minutes of up-time this morning, already down to 91%. Doing only the above tasks mentioned earlier.

So I'd say your doing well.
[Desire Android Development] z3r0n3:
Did you change the language? If so, just restart your phone.
[Desire Android Development] leemwoo:
You might want to change a new battery. Sometimes it's not a software issue and you can't fix the battery drain still after doing all the right things on tweaking GPS, brightness etc.

[Desire Android Development] z4ppy:
A new battery has been on my mind, though the one I have is probably only 8 months old now. But again, could just be one of them things.

Most battery saving things I've tried/do, without great gain. I mean I always have my phone on dim when possible. Mobile data is always off unless I need it, which I then turn on and use and turn off when done. Wireless at home is on/off, just depends. While I don't use gps or have google maps installed etc.

At the point where I've kinda done all I can think of sadly. Obviously something is up because I shouldn't be suffering a near 10% decline from a full charge just sending texts and a quick 5 min browse of the market.
[Desire Android Development] iain2510:
Z4ppy, don't read too much into the battery reading falling from 100% to 90% quickly as its not a true reflection of your battery state.

It's got something to do with how the phone charges the battery after 90%, I'll try and find the article link.

[Desire Android Development] mattman83:
This shouldn't apply. The latest kernels will charge from 98% as opposed to the older ones which would only charge if below 90%... so there's alot less margin for error at that end of the scale.

Before you order a battery I would do a FULL wipe, full reinstall, don't restore any backups etc (though take them before just in case) and just see what happens. Put on the latest 2.6.35.12r1 kernel but don't put on any task killers/power savers etc. Would also be worth doing a reset battery stats through recovery. Leave all your 3g/wifi to auto, don't need to manually disable.

If it's STILL bad - then yeah it's likely a hardware problem... alot of battery drain issues can come from bad apps, restores from older versions etc. Sometimes task killers/power savers etc can be counterproductive.

M.
[Desire Android Development] z4ppy:
Cheers, shall read that. That 10% drop was just an example though. Phone still drains fairly quickly in general sadly.

Phone has currently been on battery for 3h 25min and it's already back down to 71%. When it was near enough fully charged when I disconnected it from my mac. In that time all I've done is text and just had a 20min call. Not too encouraging, even if you take out the 10% drop from 100% to 90%.

But yeah, just have to live with it pretty much and maybe look into the purchase of another battery if things persist.
[Desire Android Development] chronicfathead:
How long is your screen on for when you text? Are you always checking it, as the screen is a major culprit in battery loss.

Look at your battery usage to see what's using all the battery. I understand that the free chat/text apps (like kik) eat battery.

[Desire Android Development] pilgrim011:
Or (much easier) reboot into recovery and mount USB storage from there.;)
[Desire Android Development] z4ppy:
Screen timeout is set to 30 sec's though I just changed it when I went away to 15sec. As for time, it's not long. Just depends on how long a text I send/have to read.

I mentioned it a few pages back the other day, when I originally mentioned it. My display was and usually always has the highest battery usage.

For now it currently reads at.

64% charge.

4h 47m 56s on battery.

--

Display 58%

Voice calls 28%

WiFi 6%

Standby 5%

Phone idle 3%

I have kik messenger installed and know it runs in the background. I might uninstall it and see how it goes without it on my phone. Since I don't really use it much and was more just to see what it was like.

Otherwise I use Handcent SMS as my text app. Is there an ideal way to stop the default app from getting messages at all? I've only turned off notification, so I don't get dual text notes coming up. Otherwise it's been untouched.
[Desire Android Development] mattman83:
You can't completely disable stock sms - just the notifications as you've done. Handcent actually relies somewhat on the stock sms app being there and having the messages.
[Desire Android Development] z4ppy:
Yeah I kinda figured that. Because when I've had issues with the stock FC-ing, Handcent usually becomes a little unstable itself.

Just on the stock sms app. When I open it and goto "settings", it basically freezes and or black screens and requires a FC. Resulting in the phone needing a reset so Handsent works. I've had this issue since I've flashed to 2.0.3 and imported my texts. Now it could be more down to the fact I have close to probably 30,000 texts as it stands now (27,728 in one thread). But even before on RC7 I never had this issue with vast amounts of texts, or when I've had to restore them.

Handsent works fine and can access settings all sweet. It's just stock app that dies in the ass. Not that I need it but, just thought might be worth mentioning in case others have had similar issues.

Soft reset on application install

I am suffering from a weird issue. Sometimes when my storage space is running low (~30MB) any attempt to install an app causes a soft reset. In the logs I can see the following "Couldn't copy package file to temp file.". Is this any know issue with this ROM?

I use a sd-ext partition of size of 1GB on a SD card (AData class10 16GB). Dalvik cache is on internal storage.
[Desire Android Development] brandall:
I got no answer over in the Oxygen tips thread, so now posting here...

Anyone?
[Desire Android Development] Harrysoon:
Or download the multi-mount app. Solves speed issues.
[Desire Android Development] Dangry:
Just a quick word....

Most importantly, I appreciate all the time and effort that people like Adam put into these ROMs and keeping us all running smooth and pretty but....

The other day, after searching here and the Oxygen bug tracker page and not finding a similar issue I figured I would post it on the Oxygen bug tracker thinking it a ROM issue. Let me say that I am not a computer programer, developer or a guy that knows the "in's and out's" of software like the back of my hand, I'm not completely computer illiterate either and I understand "The issue tracker, unlike the forums, is NOT the place for user help. The issue tracker's purpose is to identify problems with Oxygen itself......" So, that being said, when I post an issue (thinking it's rom related since I've never had the problem before) what I don't expect it to be responded to in a very condescending manor by someone! While the response might have seemed harmless to the mod, it struck me as rude.

I understand the position of the moderators and people that monitor forums, I know you are most likely volunteers (we will be going back to this in a second) and get any number of annoying questions, in your opinion, but let me remind you all of some things because I see it here also. !. Don't be an a-hole just because someone isn't as proficient as you. 2. Don't forget at one time YOU were the one with the DFQ's (Dumb Fu****g Question) 3. You decided to help out with the forums, nobody twisted your arm so I would hope you understood what this would entail, it's a thankless job most times and people are not going to stop asking/posting stupid crap (to you) no matter how much attitude you throw at them or complain, it's just the way the world is. 4. Try reading what you write out loud before you post it and if it sounds in the least bit snarky, maybe give it a little love.... Throw a little spit on that thing will ya!

So either learn some civility, remember we aren't all code monkeys (I use that term with the utmost respect for what you do) and put your powers to good use or pack it in and go somewhere else.

Karma is a real mother and as much as I wanted to express my thoughts about you and the way I was spoken to in a more "colorful" manor even I was able to exercise restraint.

Again I can't express how much I really do appreciate what you do and how much work it is, I have done similar work and understand how frustrating it can be.... Okay I'm done, thank you for your time.....
[Desire Android Development] Dangry:
About my post....

I forgot to mention it wasn't Adam who replied to me by the way. Sorry.
[Desire Android Development] nawoa:
I've been a long-time Cyanogenmod devotee (well, since it was available on Desire, at least), and I'd like to just say, this is a really excellent rom. I love how barebones it is. Any special functioning I want can be downloaded from the market, after all.

I think I'll be sticking with Oxygen for the near future, at least until CM 7.1 or so is out.

Now, that aside - this has a bug that's the same as Cyanogenmod, extremely slow USB write speeds. You can read the details, verifications, and such here: http://code.google.com/p/cyanogenmo...on Model Network Owner Summary Stars Priority

Any idea of this might be fixed on Oxygen? It's been decisively proven to be a kernel-based issue. I realize there are workarounds, but in a ROM with so few real flaws I hope this might be something worth looking into.
[Desire Android Development] dogstar55:
Only way i was able to resolve this was to use Vignette, and set the frame to Full Screen.

Not sure why the stock camera does not shoot in fullscreen mode anyway.
[Desire Android Development] nawoa:
This is a question I see asked often and the answer is very simple.

Take a picture of the same subject with Vignette or whatever, then a picture with the basic camera app. Compare them.

You'll notice that the one that's cutting off the picture is actually Vignette, which crops the picture to fit a widescreen display, when the sensor resolution is actually closer to 4:3 aspect ratio. The basic camera app is the one you want to use if you actually want to get the best picture. Then you can edit it to whatever size you like using your app of choice (PicSay Pro in my case), while preserving the original image for printing or whatever.
[Desire Android Development] :
That would be me you are complaining about there, well I'm guessing so anyway. I don't know what issue you are referring to, but I will say that genuine issues are dealt with in a serious manner, however issues which appear to be stupid, timewasting, or an individual using the issue tracker as a helpdesk will be dealt with in the manner that they deserve.

Thank you for the appreciation of our work, however, your appreciation doesn't give you the right to tell anyone how to conduct themselves I'm afraid, so please don't.
[Desire Android Development] SimonVT:
It is fixed in Oxygen. The issue is only with .37 kernels, and Oxygen uses a .35 kernel.
[Desire Android Development] nawoa:
That's what I thought too, but transfer speeds still leave something to be desired. I mean, the 1.6 MB/s I get is a hell of a lot better than 500 KB/s in CM currently, but with multi-mount I get 2.5 MB/s, in recovery I get 4 MB/s and in a cheap card reader I get over 10 MB/s.
[Desire Android Development] :
I know the speeds are crap, but they are as fast as they will go.

USB mass storage is crap in Android, period.
[Desire Android Development] :
Yeah, I saw it. It seems like the latest placebo fad on XDA.

We won't be implementing it. Increasing the readahead also increases the RAM usage by page cache, which will end up being detrimental to the performance of the device.

There is no benefit to read speed in increasing this value, particularly with a low performance device like an SD card.

I personally maintain that people shouldn't change it, unless they understand readahead, and if they did, they wouldn't change it.

Readahead isn't anything to do with cache size either, as the OP on that other thread mistakenly believes.
[Desire Android Development] Dangry:
Good luck with all that...

Everything is a okay!
[Desire Android Development] madd0g:
Issue tracker != help desk, he said it already. And xda-DEVELOPERS has gone off its purpose long time ago. If you have read the last couple pages of the thread and you're the only one having issues, then it's not the ROM's fault. If you're not willing to educate about the whole ROM/customizing business or not enjoying the learning experience about the android/your device, then i'd say you got the wrong phone.
[Desire Android Development] Dangry:
Thank you for your time :D
[Desire Android Development] Karbo81:
is there a way to sync your facebook friends with a contacts?!
[Desire Android Development] Dangry:
Facebook....

In contacts hit menu/accounts then at the bottom hit "add account" and follow yer nose...

I had a problem with my facebook account staying synced though. I would have to re enter my info sometimes.
[Desire Android Development] mattman83:
If you've pushed the FB app to SD then move it back to the phone and it should fix the losing sync stuff.

And to the previous poster, yeah just install the FB app and run it once - will prompt you for how you want to sync data. Just have to make sure there's some common data between your gmail contact and the fb account whether it be name, phone number, email addy etc.

M.
[Desire Android Development] dogstar55:
Thank you for the feedback. I searched all over for some guidance on this one, didnt find a thing.

Well, good to know the original app is taking the full size pic. Mind you, with the pic cropped it looks a lot better on the phone - makes use of the whole screen as opposed to having the black space on the sides of the pic. (also looks better on my pc screen for the same reason)
[Desire Android Development] Tutti-frutti:
I have a problem with the quality of the camera, but I'm unsure if its because of the firmware or hardware. The pictures my cam takes are of terrible quality. What I'd like to know if more people experience worse image quality with this firmware when compared to the stock rom. My guess is that it's my camera that is not working OK, since quality is so worse if I compare it to a friend's stock desire.

To give you impression, here are 2 pictures shot with stock ROM in August 2010, and one shot today with oxygen rom. I also have significant more noise when shooting in the dark (I sometimes get visible vertical stripes)

I'd like to know if there are more people experiencing similar degradation in picture quality, so I can find out if it's related to firmware (probably AOSP in general) or the cam hardware itself.

-edit- fixed.

could somebody tell me why this could happens? because it really bother me

Sure it's not just the camera lens cover that's scratched, or smudged?

Hi all,

I'm a bit of a newb so, sorry if i ask something that can be ridiculous for some of you guys.

I'm having problem with a2sd with this rom. I formated my sd card with a 1024ko ext4 partition and havn't moved the dalvik cache to it. With the previous rom I was using it did work correctly but with this one it seems that the applications aren't installed in the ext4 partition but well in the phone's one... and i'm running out of space really fast.

Maybe I don't really understand what dalvik cash is... do i have to move it to the ext4 partition to have it work? do I need to do smth else with this rom?

thanx in advance!
[Desire Android Development] KBanause:
http://androidforums.com/eris-all-things-root/76110-what-dalvik-cache.html#post710236

Your apps are getting installed on the ext partition but you run out of space because the dalvik cache is eating it up.

You have three choices:

1. Install a script which moves the dalvik cache to the ext partition

2. Try to install the oxygen hboot.

3. Uninstall apps you don't need. According to Titanium I have 87 user apps installed and I still have 80MB left (and I don't use any ext partition but the oxygen hboot)
[Desire Android Development] sarfaraaz:
Hey guys. I've been using Oxygen 2.0.3 since I got my new HTC Desire 3 days ago, as of yesterday I've been having the problem with invisible stuff, namely the keyboard and the long press for characters as well as my status bar.

I've read numerous posts about force closing the keyboard when it happens and for a while it has worked. But recently, the setting menu and some apps like ShootMe have become invisible as well. only a reboot fixes it. I've attached a screenshot here showing the status bar issue.

Any help would be highly appreciated. I'd rather not flash another ROM as Oxygen is pretty awesome but for these bugs.
[Desire Android Development] jadephyre:
there is a fix for blackscreen problems, it also fixes the keyboard I think.

It is about 4 or 5 pages back I think, look for a post by "dzo".
[Desire Android Development] nawoa:
I can certainly understand your hesitation to believe in yet another of these weekly "amazing performance!!!!!" fads, but this one does seem to have demonstrable results. I haven't tried it myself, but I think I might soon. I'm only a novice but one of the things you cite as being a bad thing about this is greater memory usage, if I'm understanding you. Is this really a concern on the Desire? I have 300+ MB free at boot and 260+ after using it all day.

All I know for sure is that anything involving accessing the SD card is slow as hell - going through pictures, reading many small cached images, etc. Anything to improve burst read rates would be a godsend.

Anyway, I as a casual user would really appreciate it if you at least tried it yourself. Worst case scenario, a couple minutes wasted.

Just my 2 cents. Thanks for your consistently great work so far!
[Desire Android Development] jadephyre:
SD Card performance depends on the SD Card... I'm using an 8GB Samsung Class 6 microSDHC Card, and it is very fast.

I may update to a class 10 card soon, but so far there are no noticeable slowdowns when accessing the SD.

Concerning the SD data transfer speeds, has anyone tried to align the data on the SD? I have found 2 tutorials on how to align the ext4 (thanks to baadnwz) and fat32 data. I wonder if Amon RA or Clockwork had these in mind when they have designed the recoveries.
